Teenager unhurt after car rolls over him

NORTH KITSAP — A 16-year-old Poulsbo boy pinned under his Chevrolet El Camino in a shallow ravine along NE 288th Street in Kingston was rescued by North Kitsap Fire & Rescue crews Friday evening.

The teenager said he had been trying to push his car up an incline along 288th when the El Camino rolled back over him and into the ravine, according to North Kitsap Fire & Rescue. A passer-by who saw the incident called 911 immediately. Firefighters stabilized the vehicle and used special air bags to lift the car off the boy, who remained conscious the entire time. The boy was not hurt, and firefighters said the soft and loamy surface in the ravine likely saved his life.

Traffic along NE 288th was slowed for about 30 minutes for the rescue.
